Patent attributes
Methods and systems configured to interact with hardware components of a computer system are described. In some embodiments, the system includes a processor and a memory coupled with the processor, wherein the memory is configured to provide the processor with instructions for generating, by a software module executing on the system, an Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) request configured for a controller of the computer system; transmitting, by the software module, the IPMI request to a server separate from the computer system, wherein the server is configured to emulate the controller of the computer system; and receiving, by the software module, an IPMI response from the server, wherein the IPMI response is based on a simulated operating condition of a hardware component of the computer system at the server, thereby obviating a manual adjustment of the hardware component on the computer system.
